Most Coaches Don’t Know This. But You Will.
Coaching is an unregulated industry, which means anyone can call themselves a coach.
Here’s the problem:
🚨 Most coaches aren’t trained to recognize trauma responses.
🚨 Most don’t understand how the brain and body work together.
🚨 And too many unintentionally reinforce shame, guilt, and dysregulation.
Not you.
Inside my Trauma-Informed Coaching Certification, you’ll learn how to:
✅ Help clients regulate their nervous system so they can actually process change
✅ Identify trauma responses vs. mindset blocks (hint: they’re not the same)
✅ Understand the brain-body connection and why behavior isn’t always a “choice”
✅ Ask the right questions to release shame and guilt instead of reinforcing it
✅ Build trust and safety—so your clients can fully engage in the work
This isn’t a “nice to have.” It’s an industry standard that should exist, but doesn’t.
Many coaches unknowingly overlook trauma responses, leading to stalled progress and client dissatisfaction.
Trauma-informed coaching is more than a trend. It’s a necessary skill set that empowers coaches to offer safe, effective guidance.
Gain the skills to identify and navigate trauma responses, leading to deeper client trust and more effective coaching outcomes.
Trauma affects more people than we realize, and its impact can shape every aspect of life. Coaches, especially those working with women entrepreneurs or individuals in high-stress roles, are likely to encounter clients who carry unresolved trauma. Addressing this effectively requires specific training to ensure coaches don’t inadvertently cause harm.
What is Trauma-Informed Coaching?
Trauma-informed coaching is an approach that equips coaches with the tools and understanding to recognize, respect and adapt to clients’ trauma histories. Rather than diving into therapeutic practices, it empowers coaches to create an environment of emotional safety, where clients feel seen, heard, and valued. This approach respects the boundaries of traditional coaching while integrating trauma-awareness.
Why We Need It NOW
As coaches, we see it all—our clients’ triumphs and sometimes their deep-rooted struggles. Trauma can profoundly impact their journey, often affecting their ability to move forward.
By understanding trauma and its effects, you can foster a safe, supportive environment that empowers clients to achieve meaningful progress, even when past challenges emerge.
You can become the coach who clients trust fully, knowing you hold space for even their most delicate issues. That’s the gift of trauma-informed coaching, and now you can offer it. Even better, you can use the tools you learn here to work through your own trauma.
This exclusive first cohort is designed for those serious about expanding their skills with new techniques and approaches that bring a trauma-informed, holistic focus to coaching.
Whether you’re looking to support clients with confidence or simply recognize when it’s time to refer them to a therapist, this certification is the key.

What You’ll Learn in This 10-Week Comprehensive Program
Each week builds upon the last, providing a blend of live sessions, practical exercises, and ongoing support.
How it comes together:
-
Foundations Trauma and its Impact on the Brain
Understanding the science behind trauma helps you recognize behavioral patterns in clients that may be rooted in past experiences, not current circumstances they brought to you for coaching. - Types of Trauma and Symptoms
Trauma can be acute (a single event), chronic (repeated exposure), or complex (long-term exposure). Understanding these symptoms helps us coach with empathy and avoid judgement. - Trauma-Informed Principles and Ethics
The five core principles that shape how we build trust and foster a safe, supportive environment for our clients – how they work and why they matter. - Building Psychological Safety in Sessions
Creating an environment where clients feel safe and heard is foundational. We’ll explore strategies like setting session agreements, validating emotions, and observing non-verbal cues for discomfort or overwhelm. - Boundaries in Trauma-Informed Coaching
Establishing clear boundaries, knowing when to refer, and staying grounded in your role as a coach. - Understanding the Somatic Aspects of Trauma
Diving into somatic responses—the way trauma can show up physically. You might notice that a client’s body language shifts or they experience physical discomfort when discussing certain topics. - Trauma-Informed Communication
Focusing on skills like reflective listening, empathy and validating language to support clients in feeling safe to explore their emotions. Trauma-affected clients may be sensitive to certain words or tones, so it’s important to focus on empathy and language. - Resilience and Post Traumatic-Growth
Strategies for supporting clients to recognize their resilience, encouraging self-compassion and fostering a sense of purpose. - Self-Care and Vicarious Trauma for Coaches
Focusing on you and the importance of self-care. To be effective long-term, you need to maintain strong boundaries, seek support, and create a self-care plan to support yourself mentally and emotionally. - Integrating Trauma-Informed Techniques with Coaching Models
From cognitive-behavioral approaches to solution-focused and somatic coaching, trauma-informed techniques can complement nearly any model. We’ll review popular frameworks and discuss how to adapt them to work compassionately with trauma-affected clients.
We’ll also discuss ways to help clients reconnect with their bodies through grounding exercises, breath-work and mindful movement.
Each lesson is designed to provide immediately applicable skills to integrate trauma-sensitive approaches into your practice right away.

Because of the small group, you also receive 1:1 support and real-time help with your own clients.
Why isn’t this program accredited by the International Coaching Federation?
We are not accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) for two reasons:
First, we fundamentally differ in structure, purpose and methodology from the ICF. The ICF is a coaching organization that upholds a set of core competencies for how accredited programs teach coaches.
They are not designed to support any type of coaching that varies from their model. In that way, their focus is on ensuring conformation to their methods, rather than a coaching program’s effectiveness or impact because they believe their way is the best way.
We do not conform to the ICF‘s model of coaching. We are not coaches who work with trauma survivors. We are trauma-informed professionals who use the modality to coach and to recognize when it’s time to refer a client to a mental health professional.
If we were to conform to the ICF‘s methods and competencies, we would be limited in our capacity to help coaches. Doing so would rob our program of its most effective and beneficial components. For this reason we have neither sought, nor will seek, ICF accreditation.
Second, we are accredited by the International Association of Therapists. Recognizing that standards and competencies are helpful within a profession, we sought accreditation with a Code of Ethics, Guiding Principles and Core Competencies that work for the population we serve: Coaches who recognize being trauma informed is critical to their clients and the future of their practice.
